As current production and consumption patterns exceed planetary boundaries, many leaders have stressed the need to adopt green economic stimulus policies in aftermath of COVID-19 pandemic. This paper provides an integrated multi-stakeholder framework design recovery strategy aligned with climate stabilisation objectives. We first employ quantitative energy models, then a multi-criteria decision process which we engage social actors from government, enterprises civil society. case study,...
Decarbonisation of the global economy is necessary to achieve climate targets set by Paris Agreement at COP21. Significant investments are required in low-carbon technologies on supply and demand side energy systems; scale these may pose challenges national economies. In this paper, an forecast model, a cost-optimisation model input-output combined conduct economy-wide assessment policy pathways for transition Cyprus. The results study indicate that scenario with additional efficiency...
This paper builds on and extends the R&D work techno-economic analysis of cogeneration desalinated water electricity by Cyprus Institute (2012) (Solar Thermal Cogeneration Electricity Water: Research Development study for a Concentrated Solar Power—Desalinization Sea Water (CSP–DSW) C.N. Papanicolas & G. Tzamtzis editors. The Institute, Nicosia, Cyprus, 2012. ISBN: 978-9963-2858-0-8). Three different Power (CSP) plant configuration options operating in are examined this paper: an...
Decarbonisation of national economies to mitigate climate change requires transformation the entire energy system. Investments in renewable technologies electricity supply system are increasing, but substantial effort is called for other sectors, such as transport. While European Union member states have submitted their integrated National Energy and Climate Plans, this paper focuses on partial electrification transport sector a measure reduce carbon dioxide emissions isolated grid Cyprus...
The paper presents the architectural, engineering and energy design of a laboratory building located in Cyprus. is designed to meet near-zero consumption criteria using advanced conservation measures, smart management solar thermal photovoltaic systems cover remaining load. techniques used result reduced by almost 70% compared with conventional building, while 27% heating-, cooling- lighting load covered photovoltaics. A concentrating system for cooling heating being installed remainder
Solar concentration systems are usually deployed in large open spaces for electricity generation; they rarely used to address the pressing energy needs of built environment sector. Fresnel technology offers interesting and challenging CSP pathways suitable environment, due its relatively light weight (<30 kg.m−2) low windage. The Cyprus Institute (CyI) Consorzio ARCA cooperating such a research program; we report here construction integration 71kW system into HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, Air...
The region of the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East (EMME) is one with highly diverse socioeconomic conditions. It split between countries rich fossil fuel reserves, which are net energy exporters, that rely to a large extent on imports satisfy their domestic demand. Despite abundant renewable resources, especially for wind solar, in 2019 accounted merely 12% total electricity generation across region. present effort aims highlight potential benefits offered by future enhancement trade...
